This Monty Python clip of Philosophy Football is perfect. 🙃🏟👀 After 39 straight days of World Cup adrenaline, drama, & glory, I have to somehow get my brain to transition back into writing philosophy. (Yes, that's what I do). ✌🏻 Less adrenaline. More pondering. 👇🏼

I blocked about 50 people who were sending hate towards the players. Sorry if I lumped you with them.

Your life data & willpower isn't a commodity. Billionaires should be able to buy islands, business assets, property. In other words—actual commodities. They shouldn't be able to buy YOU. They shouldn't have purchasing power of your beliefs, feelings, and life data.
Your life data & willpower isn't a commodity.

Billionaires should be able to buy islands, business assets, property. In other words—actual commodities.

They shouldn't be able to buy YOU.

I fear that by Zuck & Musk buying platforms that harvest our personal data & pump us full of propaganda—they’ve begun to convince the world that our beliefs, our feelings, & our life data are commodities to be purchased & manipulated by the billionaire class.

When those assets actually belong exclusively to YOU.

But I find it hard to believe that even 5 people would have falsely reported me on a day in which I had zero controversial posts. This was the only post I made that day. So it had to have been an intentional attack of this post. 💯

I THINK that Bluesky relies on the moderation of others. It will lock your account automatically after a certain number of people report you. They did not share with me what that number is, so I have no way of knowing if only 5 people reported me. Or if 25 people reported me.

The point of rallies is so that locals will attend, hear their ideas, & vote for them, right? Trump seemed to do them to create a type of cult following to make him appear popular in every state & city. But if these were MAGA groupies, then he actually wasn't organically popular in those cities.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 31/03/2025
I suspect they were following him around the country, with decked out MAGA cars, making it look like he had loyal fans. Nothing about it was organic or a normal political relationship. His was 2,000 seats, while Harris filled 9,000. Hers had amazing vibe. Organic, normal people. With happy souls.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 31/03/2025
Point is: a rally should be support for your candidate. They didn't even go inside. They weren't interested in Trump at all. Like they didn't even come to hear him speak. They stood outside harassing us in MAGA costumes. If that's not paid groupies, I don't know what is.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 31/03/2025
A good portion of them were from out of town. I had never seen their cars. They looked like a traveling MAGA circus. Another man drove around the block about 700 times & every time he passed us, he rolled down his window to say nasty things for a minute, then drove on, & drove around again. 🙄

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 31/03/2025
Trump had paid protestors in 2024. I did an anti-Trump protest at his rally in Savannah. It was like a fascist comic-con. Everybody in costumes, cars covered in MAGA stickers, & Trump paraphernalia. People were nasty & hateful. One man came over yelling in our face, spitting from anger.

The posts are still there, but all of my comments and replies are invisible. So I can't explain to people why I've been marked as spam even on my own posts. (Which is why I'm responding from this account).

We had cold nights in Dec, but somehow the mosquitos just rehatched and began sucking our blood again. It was very annoying. And now they're all coming back only 3 months later!! 😵 We're on the coast so we're hotter than Atlanta, which is sort of in the mountains. 1,000 ft above sea level.

I like temps between 50° & 70° too. That's the best. 😅 We're approaching bug season in Savannah. Bug season is between April and ... late October. But I was actually still using bug repellent all the way until Christmas last year. 🤪 Bug season is high humidity, 85°-95°, non-stop bug repellent.

Thank you! ☺️ Let's hope they sort it out tomorrow. I appealed it about 24 hours ago. But I think they have a smallish team of moderators. Though I'm feeling very cut off. So many things I want to say. This profile isn't meant to be political so, the followers are different.

Yeah, I'm trying to find out how many reports had to be made before the automation kicked in. Also, I was in contact with the moderation team when it happened. I'd received a warning, so I emailed to ask what rule I'd broken and as I was replying to them, the automated freeze kicked in anyway. 🤨

Also, Bluesky really doesn't have the staff for this. Which I understand. Of the 4 or 5 emails I've sent to moderation over the past few months, only 1 personal reply has been sent. All others were ignored. So I have no idea when they will even see my appeals or respond back to me.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
I have to wonder how many complaints I received in order for my entire account to be labeled as spam. I can't even make replies answering people's questions about why I'm spam, because my comments are also hidden & considered spam. I hope it's a high #, so MAGA has to work to get someone banned.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
That's a good point!! They know they'll get blocked immediately for making nasty comments, so creating false reports is the next available step for their trolling. 😮‍💨😵 Blocking trouble makers preemptively keeps us off their radar.

Thanks! I had hoped the MAGA trolls would have me on a block list to save me the trouble. But I actually think they were watching the account of the lawyer in the video. She reposted me & thanked me for sharing her testimony. Within a couple of hours, I had been reported to Bluesky multiple times.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
And the only other post I made on my Resist Rebel Revolt account yesterday was a clip of Chris Murphy showing kindness to a little girl at a town hall. So if it wasn't the censorship video that made the trolls mad, it was a video showing kindness.

Posting this censorship video on my activism @resistrebelrevolt.net got me reported by trolls as spam. 😵 It was shared 700x, with 150 comments showing appreciation to the constitutional lawyer who gave expert testimony on how conservatives were gaslighting us on free speech. 👏🏼 She's 110% right! ✊🏼

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
That's it exactly! To get me banned, they have to send multiple reports. I was given 1 warning, but I emailed mod to ask what rule I was breaking. I received an email back, but was sent a 2nd automated warning & then my whole account was labeled spam. Which means people were still reporting me.

I think some MAGA made multiple complaints that I was spamming people. Probably in retaliation for the powerful video on censorship that was beginning to go viral. I appealed, but haven't heard back. This is my 2nd account because all of my replies in Resist Rebel Revolt are labeled spam too. 🤐
010
Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
Yes. (This is my 2nd account). My Resist Rebel Revolt has been marked as Spam. I've appealed it. I was reported a couple hours after a video I shared started to pick up speed. It was about Trump censoring people. Did some MAGA trolls retaliate & try to get me banned? Wouldn't surprise me. 😐

Some dogs are so good at making friends with other animals. My Dalmatian wants to eat & chase every animal. Rodents, horses, cats, deer, geese, chickens. She is a huntress. 😋 I wish she would stop seeing every animal as lunch.

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
Yeah, the initial email warning me I was doing spam came in at 2AM last night. Only a couple hours after the post was re-shared by the lawyer in the video. She must be on MAGA's radar. (Cause she's speaking truth). But the video was posted on my account, so tagging me takes down the video.

lol. That does cheer me up. Soo cute!! 😍😍

I sent another email to bluesky mod saying "P.S. here's the video that was going viral when I was tagged as spam. I have to wonder if it wasn't retaliation against the content in the video." It was a pretty powerful truth to power video. It wouldn't surprise me if some trolls wanted revenge.
120
Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
Actually, it is a little bit ironic because the video is about censorship. And now it's labeled spam. 🤣😂🤣 But that's just a coincidence. Unless of course somebody flagged me as spam precisely to retaliate against the video. Which is possible.
110
Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
And the Chris Murphy one where he's sweet and gentle to a child is marked spam. 🤨🙄 Those 2 videos were the most inspiring things I'd come across all week and now they're behind a spam wall. But I'll repost here if the issue doesn't get resolved. 😪

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
Thanks, I appreciate that! It's sad especially cause the video I posted had over 150 comments. Including the lawyer in the video - who thanked me for posting it. People had asked for the download link to share on other platforms. And now that fabulous video that everybody loves is marked Spam.

It's weird to be raging against Trump one second and then 6 months later holding philosophy discussions. lol And then 6 months later it's another election cycle or Roe v Wade gets repealed and you're raging again. 🫣😮‍💨

Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
Yes. When I was on Twitter, I had both philosophy & politics in one account and every year, I just swung back and forth between the topics. I hated it. So I decided to create 2 Bluesky accounts so that each topic could be completely separate and then all of my followers are tailored to the subject.
120
Melissa Nadia Viviana @thebeatphilosopher.com · 30/03/2025
Hey. This is my other account. Resist Rebel Revolt was flagged by others as spam. I'm trying to appeal. If they won't release my account then I will have to use this 2nd account. I have 2: one for philosophy and one for politics. I had wanted to keep them separate, but may have to combine. 😪

So this is it. This is our time to become radical and to build a coalition of radicals. But not radical in action––radical in VISION. The fascists are trying to burn everything down. The only way we can stop them is to rise up with a more inspiring vision of the future for America.
